Printer’s Picks: A Look at Priorities and Processes

About

Why an artist makes and should make prints, how prints are made, and the business of print publishing have been the main topics of conversation over the last fifteen years of working with David Krut in New York City, Johannesburg and London. No matter where we are or what we are working on bringing into the world, the stories about how and why a particular work exists are often as intriguing as the works themselves. As printers and publishers, we have a unique perspective on the creative process of artists because we are present for the decisions, the inspirations, and the heartaches.   

This exhibition is a selection of works from artists, printers, and publishers within the orbit of David Krut Projects in New York City. Some of these works have not been seen in years while others are hot off the press. Their unifying factor is an unyielding pursuit of the artists’ intentions. The exhibition features work by Glen Baldridge, Deborah Bell, William Kentridge, Eddie Martinez, Sam Nhlengethwa, Sara Sanders, Dread Scott, Senzo Shabangu, James Siena, Diane Victor and many more. The digital accompaniment to the physical exhibition includes anecdotal information about the making and the meanings behind each work from the perspectives of the people involved in their creation.
